The 411 on Christy
Christy Mensi is a 34 year old SAHM and lives in Leakey, Texas with her husband and two kids. You can follow her on twitter at @reallifeadv

What do you do?

My most important and fulfilling job is being a mom, but I almost manage and write for the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans, a fitness and weight loss community I started with some friends a year ago. I also do some freelance graphic design, love to hike, take pictures and read.

Mirror mirror on the wall…
When I look in the mirror I see someone who’s come a long way, and only has a little more to go! I’m so close to my goal.

Goals for the Active for Life 6 Week Challenge

With about 13 pounds to lose until I reach my goal, my biggest hope during the challenge is to finally shed it! I want to be fit, strong and healthy. Not just thin! I also hope to spread the word about how wonderful and easy it is to get an amazing working using EA SPORTS Active More Workouts.

Working out these days?
Yes, I use EA SPORTS Active Personal Trainer, and I've been running as well.

What you love
I love my shoulders

What you love a little less
My stomach

How was your experience with EA SPORTS Active Personal Trainer?
It was great – I lost about 5 pounds and went from a size 12 to a 10 during the 30 day challenge! And now, thanks to the 5K challenge I went down another size and am currently an 8! I felt strong, which was something completely new to me. I also had so much more energy, which is important when you’re trying to keep up with two little ones. My 6 year old son loves working out with me. He does the exercises right along with me! He has TONS of custom workouts saved! He loves the sports.

How will you reward your fabulous self post-challenge?

After this challenge, I will hopefully be at my goal weight, so I plan to SHOP! I am so tired of only have a couple of things that fit, so I plan to get rid of all the old stuff, and fill my closet with OPTIONS!

What are you Active for?
First and foremost, I’m Active for ME, but I'm also active for my husband and children. I want to be the best wife and mother I can be, and being fit and healthy is a huge part of that.
